When was Command & Conquer: Generals released?
The real-time strategy game was developed by EA Pacific and published by Electronic Arts in 2003. It marked a major shift for the franchise by moving to a full 3D engine powered by the SAGE technology.
Did Command & Conquer: Generals get an expansion pack?
Yes, the game received a single expansion pack called "Zero Hour," which was released later in 2003. The expansion added new units, a challenging Generals Challenge mode, and specialized sub-factions for each army.
Was Command & Conquer: Generals ever banned anywhere?
The game faced heavy controversy and was effectively banned in China due to its depiction of the Chinese military and global politics. The GLA's destruction of fictional Chinese landmarks, like the Three Gorges Dam, was a major point of contention for the Chinese government.
